and once niche names for diehards and mountaineers, are continuing to prove that performance doesn’t belong only in the backcountry. Parent company Amer Sports just posted a monster $1.47 billion in Q1 revenue, with both brands powering the surge.

Salomon, long a favourite in trail-running circles, have officially cracked the billion-dollar mark in sneaker sales. With momentum from key launches like the and Aero Glide 3, the brand is scaling at warp speed across APAC, the US, and Europe. China leads the retail charge with aggressive store rollouts, while a pop-up in New York’s SoHo has proven so popular it’s now permanent. LA and San Francisco are next.

Not to be outdone, Arc’teryx Equipment is rapidly establishing itself as a footwear force. Q1 sales skyrocketed 41%, thanks to trail-ready models like the Norvan LD4 and Vertex Speed. Arc’teryx has spun footwear into a standalone business unit, with a loaded pipeline of new models dropping in the second half of 2025. Womenswear is on a tear too, up 38% this quarter alone.

Looking ahead, Salomon is set to expand its lifestyle lineup with more XT iterations and a rumoured ACS+ refresh, while Arc’teryx will debut its first alpine-specific hiking boot under the new footwear division.

Across the full 2024 fiscal year, Salomon generated more than $1.3 billion in sales, while Arc’teryx posted over $2 billion – making it Amer Sports’ largest and fastest-growing brand. Together, these once-niche players are leading the charge in turning technical gear into global lifestyle staples.
